Maybe you chose the wrong project setting.

The following works beautifully with the sample you provided:

$ melt -profile dv_ntsc_wide file0034.mov -consumer
avformat:file0034.dv pix_fmt=yuv411p

Note the default profile is PAL DV, which does not match your input's
aspect ratio and frame rate, hence the dv_ntsc_wide. Then, ffmpeg
requires the pix_fmt hint to tell it which DV variant to use (dv25).
